Fresh from his heroics at the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles last weekend, Rory McIlroy is backing compatriot Darren Clarke to be Europe's next captain. Clarke and Miguel Angel Jimenez have been mentioned as possible skippers for 2016. McIlroy, who's been named as PGA tour's player of the year, explains why he thinks the 2011 Open champion should get the gig.
